In most of the locales, the quick search bar get cropped. The problem is
that the main toolbar is full of icons, and that only work in plain
english. In my locale (pt-BR) the quick search is cut in a half, in
others it don't appear at all.

Can you remove some icons, like Back/Forward?

Oh, you meant in *Thunderbird*?

Please tell which product you're talking of when you're talking to a
non-product-specific newsgroup...

Yeah, this looks ungood. I don't see a short term solution for that,
though. For one, it of course depends on your window size, though 1020px
wide isn't too small.

I don't think that dropping buttons is the real way to go either.
Firefox goes for icons only, maybe for this very reason.

I'd personally release-note this problem, unless Scott wants to jump the
gun and go over to icons in a hurry.

In general IMHO there are to much elements in Thunderbirds toolbar. This
is a result of moving the quicksearch and the views into the toolbar.
Maybe it would be a better solution to move the quicksearch into the
main menu bar?

For germans Thunderbird 1024 pixel are okay in Win XP with XP style. A
look into Outlook Express shows "Allen antworten" = "Allen antw.". Maybe
I should change this?

SeaMonkey has "Antw. an alle" there, just as a note - and I never heard
complaints about that abbreviation from users in years.

Sorry Robert. I'm just came here late at night to do a favor for a
friend translator, so I ended doing a incomplete report.

It's for Thunderbird 2 (yesterday build) in Linux, Mandriva 2007 with
the default fonts (sans?).

Thanks

I'd prefer to have only 2 words instead of 3, so "Allen antw." would be
my prefered abbreviation.

That would make the menu bar to high on Linux and Windows. Also, you
can't do that on the Mac.
